I am so glad I found this outstanding resource! When teaching Multiple Intelligences to my gifted students, I like to use Amelia Earhart as an example of someone with lots of “Intrapersonal Intelligence.” We’ll be doing this lesson next week, and I can’t wait to share this with them. Thank you!

I used this resource as an assignment for lower-level 9th graders when I was absent. The students ‘enjoyed’ the weirdness and grossness of the non-fiction text. This kept their mind off the idea of a boring, reading worksheet.

My students have been asking to read about Amelia Earhart. I was so happy to find this resource. It is a well-written summary of her life, and it leads the students to asking questions and wanting to know more. This biography is a very engaging resource. I also appreciated the suggestions for use. The biography also pairs well with other resources about Earhart. It can easily be part of a short lesson or a longer unit.
